During the day you'll find a lot of $5-10 tables. Most of the MGM casinos have an electronic craps game (electronic betting terminal, the dice are big oversized dice in a pop-o-matic style bubble) that goes from $2.50-5.00 minimums (depends on the casino).

Many casinos also offer free gaming lessons (usually in the morning) where you can learn to play with other players. These'll start off as instructional tables but then become live, usually with low limits, once the lesson is over.

The instructions are a good way to start: they won't necessarily explain whats the best way to bet, IE: what has the best house edge and things like that, but will cover things like how to buy in, how to bet, how to cash out, what you can and can't do, etc

Your pass line bet only pays you even money, (you bet $5, if you win, you win $5). Putting odds, (normally double your pass line bet), behind your pass line bet will get you almost true odds of the point that you need. If you need to hit a ten and it hits, you would get paid double that of what you put down.
Don't know the true odds but here goes:

My last trip was my first time to play craps. I started downtown but later in the trip I really enjoyed playing $5 craps at Margarittaville. It's a great place and since the craps table is right by the big opening to the sidewalk it's a great atmosphere. I had the table all to myself and this was in the middle of the day. I was tipping the dealers and they were great!

I'd also like to add a +1 to Margaritaville regarding low-stakes gambling in general. Decent 8-deck shoes at $10, PaiGow and the craps table is at $5 a lot of the time. Read the blackjack tables carefully, some are 6:5 but there are always 3:2 shoes and the dealers have been, in general, pretty friendly. The CW talent is outstanding with one of the sexiest costumes on the strip (basically a bikini with a small see-through beach sarong.)

Gulp.... That made no sense to me at all... Will have to brush up on the rules a little me thinks lol

Read the sticky in the top section of this forum about craps. Good basic info.
As earlier posters indicated: You must take odds on pass line bets!!
It is the only bet in the casino without a house edge.
